Reimagine Prospect Park: November 5 Community Workshop

Over the last six months we gathered community input on how to shape the future of Prospect Park’s Rose Garden—a little-known area in the northeast corner of the Park —into a welcoming place for all of Brooklyn’s diverse communities.Learn more about the project.

Now we want to share all the great feedback and ideas we received to narrow down the options. Come out to one of our community events to learn more about this community-driven design process and to participate in activities that will help us refine our ideas. Your input will help shape the future of the Rose Garden!

We are offering several opportunities for you to give feedback! Please drop by on the day that works best for you. Each event will cover the same material. Refreshments, and Spanish and Haitian Creole translated materials will be provided.

Nature’s Helpers, 11 am: Learn how to keep Prospect Park healthy by cleaning up the lakeshore, spreading mulch or removing invasive species. This is activity is led by Alliance staff and all materials are provided.
